    We ordered carry out and i was absolutely flabbergasted at how delicious these hotdogs were. I got the San Fran and the Baltimore and bother were so good. Service was friendly and fast. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the food was ready in 15 mins. Wish I had more time so I could come back and actually eat at this place. They have a big bar and outdoor seating on the bay. Looked really cool.

    Great local spot for subs and hotdogs. It's in the Fenwick village so lots of parking. The chicken cheesesteak was good but so big I could only eat half. It was a little dry as just the chicken & cheese but I got some mayo and that did the trick! The crabby fries....what more do I have to say it's crab dip on crispy fries with old bay...yum!! I was told the Philly dog was one of the best hot dogs with chopped meat & cheese on the hot dog . The inside had a bar & tvs so would be a good spot to watch sports. Our server Carson was friendly and on point.

    We loved this specialty hot dog spot and were so glad we found it while vacationing in Ocean City! Super casual dive spot, hole in the wall, reggae music playing, super chill atmosphere. Our waitress was so sweet and her dad came in with his friend while we were there, so that was super cool, they said all of the food here is amazing. Not one single complaint about this place. Honestly out of all of the places we went to this little hole in the wall was my favorite.

    Great place. Dogs were bigger than I thought and the bread was great. Love the toppings and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    3.5 stars - We've been eating at Twilley's for a few years now. I wrote a review a couple years ago, so this is an update. Hot dogs really are their specialty and where they excel ... many different choices and everything is fresh and delicious. That said, I decided to try a special Hawaiian chicken sandwich our waiter told us about. He described it as a grilled chicken breast with sliced pineapple and a coconut spread. I decided to order it, and when it came out, I was surprised it also had bacon, cheese and pickled onions. The chicken was delicious and juicy but the overall sandwich was not successful. Everything slid around and the roll fell apart before I was even halfway through, so I finished eating it with a knife and fork. Hubby had a Detroit style dog which contained chili, cheese and diced sweet onion - very good! We brought home an Ol Goat dog (a tad too much goat cheese) plus something called the cha-cha wrap for my daughter: Buffalo style chicken with pico de gallo and a side of blue cheese. That was another miss: some of the chicken was chewy & tough, you got the heat of the buffalo sauce, but none of the flavor. The predominant flavor was pico de gallo. They used to automatically serve chips with their hot dogs, but now they only come with a pickle. Chips are $3 as are french fries. We had a couple of drinks which were very good: a margarita and grapefruit crush. It's a small place with a cool vibe and nice-sized bar. There are also a few tables out back overlooking the canal. We'll definitely be back but will stick with ordering what they do best: hot dogs!

    Wrightsville dog with hand cut fries
    Matthew U.

    Visited Twilley's Willys on our way back to Dewey Beach from Ocean City. I got to pick the spot and since I was in the mood for a hot dog we made our way here. Twilley's is located in a small shopping plaza that is a bit of a maze to make it through. Once you are there, you have the ability to dine inside, or outside. When we first got here, we had all intentions to dine outside. We made our way through the interior to the patio/deck area and found that we would not be dining outside. In fact, we would be dining inside because everyone else that showed up before us had the same idea. Wasn't bad, we had the interior dining room to ourselves, but it wasn't great either. This is basically a seat yourself place and you go about it in a way of hopes that you will be getting service. The seating, if you seat yourself along the wall, is a bit uncomfortable. as it looks like pallets were used to design the seating. We were, at first ignored for a bit, then we had someone bring us menus and take our drink order. We were then again ignored. With a different server approaching the table asking us again about a drink order. We said that we had placed our drink order, but restated it. Drinks finally arrived and we placed out food order, we didn't want to take a risk of not being seen again for a bit. The water tasted like it came from a garden hose, but I can't complain about free water. For my food I went with Wrightsville Dog with hand cut fries. The Wrightsville is a dog topped with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. Minus the slaw and it was a call to home for me. It made me miss being back home, and I mean home home. This thing was massive. I mean when it came out it was a mound of a hot dog. With all the toppings it was very hard to even hold. I had to cut it in two so I could tackle it. I feel like I unhinged my jaw at one point to open it wide enough to take a bite. The flavor was all there. it was amazing and downright delicious. No worries if you have little bits that fall off the dog, just used it for your fries, or an end of the meal bite. The food was satisfying, and took me back home. However, the service was less than stellar. I was a bit upset by the fact that we were forgotten. I feel if we sat outside we would have gotten better service. However, inside you have to contend with the bar. On top of that, you may have to contend with stray tomato slices as well, watch your step.

    How have I not known about this lil' gem of a place?! I had one of the best hotdogs I've ever had! (They rivaled ones at Wrigley Field) Not only is the actual hotdog beefy and tasty, but the hotdog bun is insanely delicious. The chili on the chili dog had lots of flavor and the mahi mahi tacos had nice fat pieces of fish. The place isn't huge but it has a nice bar and a fun beach atmosphere. Definitely going back on our beach week next year!

    crabby hot dog
    Amanda P.

    Very nice area (cute small plaza) and small classic coastal dock themed bar/restaurant. we will welcome with very nice staff, which were able to serve us well and quickly. I got myself the crabby dog, which was actually pretty good (I personally will lessen down the cream cheese content, but that could be just me). definitely would recommend someone who is a fan of hotdog because their hot dogs were very good quality.

    Detroit Dog
    Hunter C.

    If you look up the definition of hidden gem in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Twilley's Willys. Nestled in the village of Fenwick, this place has some of the best hot dogs I've ever had. With that being said, I ordered the Detroit dog and fries. To engage, the Detroit dog was topped with mustard, meat sauce, cheese, and chopped onions. Knowing that, the hot dog was excellent. To explain, the hot dog was juicy, tender, and had tremendous flavor. In addition, the meat sauce was flavorful and wasn't too spicy. Moreover, the bun was wonderful and elevated the dog to a different level. To enumerate, the bun was a sub roll and it was toasted to perfection. This was simply a phenomenal hot dog. In the same light, the fries were very good as well. To put into perspective, the fries were hand cut and tasty. To breakdown, Twilley's Willys is a hidden gem with some of the best hot dogs I've ever eaten.

    Great little "locals" place with outstanding food & drink! Sure, hot dogs get the top billing, but try the great homemade soups & the fish tacos are the BEST! Enjoy!

    Chicago dog with a veggie dog
    Anushka M.

    Huge variety and love that they have the option to sub with veggie dogs! Some of the stuff we ordered were the chicken cheese steak, cha cha wrap, Chicago dog, Kansas City dog, Detroit, and the crabby. Everyone loved their orders and they are huge! Definitely worth the price.

    Dirty Dog

    Love Twilley's Willys. We ordered the crabby fries, Baltimore style dog, the Dirty Dog, and chicken tenders. The crabby fries were the best crabby fries i've ever had. There was so much crab dip with a good amount of crab in it. And the fries were clearly homemade. The Baltimore dog and the dirty dog had a lot of toppings. The only thing we didn't care for were the chicken tenders. They were fine but lacked salt.

    $11 | Dirty Dog - chorizo, pico, wiz, & cilantro-lime crema. EXTREMELY good!
    Jason W.

    Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Ambiance - 5 out of 5 Food quality - 5 out of 5 What a perfect spot to stop for a quick bite before heading into OCMD. I really wanted to try the "Dirty Dog" and I must say... the chef who create this dog is a culinary genius. The fresh pico & cilantro lime crema, helps cut down the greasy chorizo. The layers of flavor paired nicely with each other. No one flavor overpowered the next. We only did carry out so we did not see the main dining area, but the interior and exterior of what we did see was very clean. Customer service was very nice. With a perfect score of 5 out of 5, I give this restaurant an A+

I got the brunch taco flight off specials menu so I could try multiple variations. My daughter got the shrimp tacos and while they were good, the spicy sauce took over. Tropical crush was also on the specials menu and tasty. Would definitely come back! I want to try the jalapeno popper empanadas.

The vibes here are immaculate - this is what you imagine when you think coastal taqueria. From the wooden building to the bizarre layout, this is it. You can't go wrong with that! The hot sauces are homemade, the salsa tasted fresh, everything from a condiment perspective was good. Now again was it authentic, no, but come on... If you have to order two things I would get the corn appetizer - it is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in delaware, and then the surf and turf burrito because it is epic! Everything I tried was good. The drink situation could use some help...the margarita was fine, but i really wanted neat mezcal and that was incomprehsible to them to the point that I ended up with a mezcal margarita that had anejo mezcal in it...sad We'll be back!

But, this is the second time we have been there when the smoke coming from the kitchen was unpleasant and burned our eyes. I really wish they would improve their exhaust system, or add some walls around the kitchen. Yes, it is fun to see the chef and culinary team in action, but the smoke can be overwhelming and could be eliminated with walls and double doors. It is unfortunate to have a wonderful meal charred by poor exhaust.

The Chef looks familiar, I think I tasted his food before at one of the Celebrity Chefs Brunches for Meals on Wheels. I remember it being fantastic. There is outside dining but I booked inside as we weren't sure how warm it would be in May. It turned out to be a cold and windy weekend so we were very glad to be inside, plus the outside tables have a view of the highway. What a cute little restaurant inside; it is very tiny. We were crammed into a table in the corner. It was difficult to get past the other diners at their tables, and we could hear all the conversations around us. Every table was packed, I can't imagine what it's like in this room during the busy summer. Noelle was our server and she was amazing; very knowledgeable and friendly. She described the homemade bread service to us, and we ordered 2 Coastalpolitans which were made with Tito's Vodka, lime, soju, St. Germaine, and cranberry. They were sweet, and tart, and bright, and delicious. We decided on crab toast instead of the bread, and Noelle said we made the right choice. Wow, she was correct. The crab toast blew us away. It was chunks of crab on fluffy, crispy milk bread with pickled scallions, radish, lemon aioli, kelp powder, and lime. So beautiful and so delectable! RJ ordered the Pork Chop, which Noelle said One Coastal is known for, and I ordered the NJ Day Boat Scallops. We had no words. We sat there and quietly enjoyed every bite while listening to the surrounding tables, and knew we found a maybe not so hidden gem. My scallops were delicate and buttery and sweet, and melted in my mouth. RJ said his pork chop was tender and juicy, and the best he ever had. That is saying something. We finished with bread pudding because who doesn't love a good bread pudding, and we like to try it whenever we see one that looks interesting. It was salty and sweet and just so perfect. What One Coastal lacks in space and view, it makes up for with food and service. What a delightful place, and Noelle was a pleasure and a joy. We will definitely return to try all the other things and be lucky to sit anywhere inside or out.
